Edit Reason: typo error

Much better value when it was listed as Hersing, with Western Union and Storhub business. No one interested and it got delisted cheaply. Still sore about it.

Exactly. Funny how the market forgets so quickly. Delist at 161m and re-list at 200+m valuation. If you look at their revenue and profits and compare it FY2012 and before, it has essentially done nothing. Management just bought it out and list at a higher valuation and stripped its other business away. Hersing also suffered from low liquidity. Won't be surprised this trades like that in about 2-3 years time.

IIRC, Hersing was delisted at about $147m. It then had 2 valuable properties (among others): Storhub @ Tampines, and ERA ctr @ Toa Payoh. Both these were valued at about $140m, so Henry Chia essentially paid $0 (or even -ve) for ERA Realty. 1 year later, he sold ERA (without the properties) to Northstar for $130m, and Northstar in return sold it back to us for $200m. Clap clap.

According to AR2021, there are 2359 shareholders. But there were no AGM questions submitted.
I wonder what is the state of the retail investment scene.....

They might all be happy with the booming property prices and higher com earn by APAC realty.
As long as Singapore maintains its record high property prices as what it is doing now, OPMI will be happy. Its only when property market goes down, would they then field questions in AGM (and field questions to Ministers on why they are not doing things to support property prices)
